A student at Princeton University has shown that machine-made Chinese landscape paintings are good enough to fool human evaluators – more than half of the time.

Artificial intelligence has already proven capable of producing music and novels, but now a student at Princeton University has shown that it can also create Chinese landscape paintings that are good enough to fool human evaluators – sometimes.

As part of her undergraduate research, Alice Xue studied whether a machine could pass a Visual Turing Test by producing images that people cannot tell were made by a machine. Xue trained an algorithm using 2,192 traditional Chinese landscape paintings collected from art museums. The resulting AI-generated paintings were mistaken for being made by humans 55 per cent of the time... Keep reading on South China Morning Post
